New York. June 21.-There were
twenty horses in the field for the Surbar-
ban handicap at Sheapshead Bay, on Sat
urday. Eurus won in a .canter by six
lengths; Orifiamme second, a neck IN
front of Wickham, Grimaldi fourth. Time
2:12.. Mutuals paid $500 straight, and
S75 for place. A magnificent floral horse
shoe was presented to the winner. The
value of the race to the winner is estimated
ut about $4,000. Considering the heavl-
ness of the course the time was very good
for IA mile and a quarter. The number OF
naople on the track was estimated at ~
OOb. At the very lowest estimate halt a
m lion dollars must AVE been bet on the
track. z@A -.
OVER A MILLION DEPENDED
on the winner. The bookmakers had ex-
ira help and they could not take the money
in fast enough. Richmond was a tremend-
Gus favorite. His trainer said before the
race that he did not see how he could lose.
Quito, however, had such a powerful fol
loving that he crowded him close on the
market. Grimaldi, who has a great repu-
tation as a good performer in mud, was
the pick of the track. Talent and Rupert
were we'll supported, and the Haggins are
said to have had $4,000 on Ben Ali.
There was a great hubbub over the fact
that Quito and Ben Ali were left at the
post.
lynn, Mass, June 21.-In a speech
here, Grand Master Powderly said:
XII eap,;t tho hovaott iS had IT is not
good for anybody. On the other hand the
lockout is bad. If the manufacturers drive
out the Knights of Labor and conservative
organizations like it, then the radical ones
will come and will follow. So | will say
to the manufacturers: Beware! Unless
YOU meet the men half way there will he
those who will not meet you half way and
who will MOI be as friendly as the knights,
of Labor The thing which the Anarch-
ist would hail with the greatest delight
woull be the DISCRIMINATION OF the
Knights of Labor. No man should be so
blinG as to thrust aside the hands of the
Knights of Labor. | have held back the
land of anarchy in this country and have
received no help from the manufacturers,
They say there is no discipline IN the
knights of Labor. Perhaps not. But
there will be. We are having it now and
if / command five thousand men, they will
go where | say or they will go nowhere"
New York, June 21.-For many years
New Workers have been able to buy the
fine fruits of California, but owing to the
very high rates demanded by the railroads
the quantities brought here have been
very small and high prices have been
asked. Grapes, pears and plums have
predominated, while apricots and peaches
have only been placed on this market the
past two seasons. The present season the
supply of California fruit in this market
will be largely increased. The Pacific
railroads nave been wise enough to see
that it is policy to encourage TIL" develop
ment of the business Of transporting fruit
across the continent, and have agreed {
Jun express freight trains OF ten cars each
head of the fast passenger trains. 10
az comnodate this fruit these rains will
arrive here in less than seven days from
Sacramento, Sc the fruit will reach this
market in a perfectly sound condition.
New York will enjoy the luscious fruits
of California this summer at owe prices
than ever known before.
FoRT BENTON, June 21.-The Riuer
Press has issued an extra sheet with the
following telegram from Col. Broadwater,
dated Helena. Monday: "Advices received
to-day say that the temporary and per
manent line will go to Benton"
It is reported that Jerry Collins
shed tears when Col. B~roadWater's tele-
cram was received. Rival merchants fell
on each others shoulders and wept withjoy.
Real estate agents marked up prices a hun-
dred per cent, the river steamers display
ed their bunting and the whole town with
one accord wendell its way to the saloons.
To crown all, the Ricer Press added anoth-
err column of plates and evoluted into a
six column sheet. To increase the popu-
lar delirium, that journal issued a large
extra and the newsboys made themselves
hoarse as they cried it through the streets.
The foreman was so excited that he placed
a cut of Cleveland and Hendricks at the
mead of the column instead Of the Ameri'
can eagle with the flag in her beak.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-The depart
ment of the interior has under considera-
ticn a more liberal construction of the de-
sert land law by which, lands of this class
NAV be more generally taken up and the
work of irrigation begun as early as posi-
sle. An official of the interior depart
meut says: s.If people are willing to go
into the arid belts and take up $40 acres
of land. paying what other folks pay for
good land ls1.25 per acre. we are willing
TO give them all the opportunities neces.
eary to irrigate these lands by means of
the expenditure of capital. We are in
clined to relax our present stringent rules
and allow a more liberal entry of these
lands. Of course, monopoly or fraud will
be prevented. but everybody ought to
get at these lands who, il good faith buys
and is determined to improve them
